And this month, officers filed retaliation charges against SIS based on allegations that workers felt their hours were drastically cut, that SIS managers videotaped officers engaging in union activity in an intimidating manner, and that an officer was threatened with suspension because they spoke out address their concerns to SIS.

May Day started early as officers and faith leaders filed in to SIS’s regional office to deliver the retaliation charges along with a letter demanding fair and clear religious policies. The letter outlined what Muslim officers go through on a daily basis while working for SIS.

The letter was signed by over 30 community pillars such as Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) National & Washington State, ACLU Washington and Abu-Bakr Islamic Center. Read letter here.

Amazon reception took the faith letter and proceeded to call managers at Security Industry Specialists. The delegation spoke up that SIS has retaliated against its own officers and that it is time for Amazon to step in and step up to solve these problems.

To date, no one from Amazon has returned these calls as they seem unwilling to hold SIS accountable.

Faith leaders, officers and supporters chanted on the way out of the tech campus and were met in the street by thousands of May Day marchers.
